Subject: Too Fragile? Using Advanced Computing Technology to Form New Textual Infrastructures and Add Scholarly Value
Dear MCG's,
Please forgive my rather robuse communication as this is my first time posting to our love Mail List.
I am based at Durham, and between myself and the English Literature Department we are interested in building a research project that is based on the advanced computing technology that is available for text editing.
In summary, we are seeking to scope out the design and practicalities of advanced computing editing technology resources, and the process of search and discover within them that create a series of opportunities for sustaining texts and the underlying consumptive practices that respond effectively to these challenges. What we hope this will identify are new forms of scholarly 'good practice', and important underlying principles for anyone interested in discovering and editing version of physical texts as a digital entity.
Does anyone know of any technologies that we should incorporate into our work model?... Or any other similar projects / interesting people we should contact.
Thanks terribly in advance
Mariann
